Integrative and Distributive Bargaining in the European Union: What Difference Does it Make?
Summary
Despite the distinction made between integrative and distributive bargaining situations in European studies literature, few studies have focused specifically on how these two bargaining situations differ. This study attempts to close this gap by examining two key bargaining situations involving fisheries that led to the Europeanization of this policy field. The integrative bargaining situation dealt with the negotiations about the structural policy and common organization of the market for fish products. In contrast, the distributive bargaining case focused on the protracted negotiations over resource conservation and management policies.
